An Evaluation of the Trelleborg Inflatable Medical Tent

Abstract

The Trelleborg Medical Tent, an inflatable tent of interest to the Canadian Forces, has been investigated to assess its potential in providing both a medical shelter and a collective protection shelter. Pressurization measurements are reported and a general purging analysis is included. Thermal and structural properties are reviewed. Dynamic (wind) loads and static (snow) loads have also been analysed. Keywords: Heating and Loading.
